Firstly, thanks to everyone who has either registered to the site or has left a comment on the petition page. Your support is vital in trying to get our message heard.

If you have the time to spare, we would like to invite you to continue to show your support by sending emails to your friends, informing them of our cause. The more members we have, the more the petition gets noticed, the more chance we have of winning this fight for sufferers.

Your support is very much appreciated. Watch this space for regular updates!

Just a quick update. We thought it might be nice to include a forum for visitors to “meet n greet”.
Some sections of the forum require you to be a registered site member. This is free!

There is a forum for:

(i) General Discussions
General topics to do with Pain, relief or anything else that might come to mind

(ii) Meet & Greet
A section of the forum dedicated to getting carers and sufferers alike together to meet each other, swap stories and have a chat. 

(iii) Ideas Generator
Have you got a suggestion for the site or perhaps an event we could put together? Then this forum would be the best place to put such ideas!

(iv) Support Each Other
This forum is designed to be used for ideas for networks, support sites, additional information etc.Â

Thanks to Channel 7’s Today Tonight Program, we have been given permission to include the text from the short documentary on our website. We have also provided a link to the news story as well.

I urge you to read the About pages as well to gain a fuller understanding of the issues faced by those suffering from chronic pain.

Hi everyone!
